Ohio voters just took firm positions on abortion and reproductive rights and adult-use recreational marijuana Tuesday, but gerrymandered Ohio lawmakers are already planning to flout, ignore, challenge, and abuse the voters’ wishes. This is what gerrymandering brings. This is why it’s a fundamental poison in the lifeblood of our republic.

Mere hours after Ohio voters passed the Issue 1 reproductive rights amendment with 56.62%, according to unofficial results, and the Issue 2 recreational marijuana law with 57% (both getting nearly 2.2 million votes), Ohio Republican legislative leaders signaled they would not respect the will of the people.

    January 6th was never meant to succeed. It was just a litmus test. See how the public and the judicial system would handle the prospect of insurrection. The next time it happens, the loop holes found will be exploited, and there will be no going back.

      I think it was serious, just poorly planned. I think we’re pretty much on the same page here though. I definitely think that there will be a next time.
